Warning: My 'secure' password was in a data breach from a pizza place I visited once... in 2017.

I found it on that 'Have I Been Pwned' site everyone talks about. It was from a local spot's loyalty program hack I never even knew happened. Anyone else get surprised by where their old info pops up?

Used to think a strong password was enough. Finding my old one in some random pizza shop's breach proved me wrong. Guess you really need different passwords for everything now.

My friend's email got leaked from a pet store she visited one time years ago.

Check that site every few months, it's eye opening. I started using a password manager after my old gym login showed up in a breach. Now every account gets its own random password, and I turned on two factor auth for anything important. It's a hassle at first but way less stress than trying to remember which places got hacked.
